Papaya Popsicles

June 7, 2018

Now that the weather in NYC is starting to get warm and sunny (like three days a week) I am all about making homemade popsicles! They are about as easy as buying the popsicle mold from Amazon. 😉 And the best part is you can completely control the ingredients without having to add a ton of extra sugar. Take these Papaya Popsicles for example. There is no added sugar, and they still come out tasting creamy, sweet and delicious just from using fruit. Guilt-free in my book. 🙂

Not to mention, I am currently using two papaya-based natural skin products from Odacite to tackle my hyperpigmentation. I just went to the dermatologist and was like “hi, why am I ridiculously pale and have all these brown spots popping up on my face?” The answer, like anything weird during pregnancy, is my glorious hormones. So sunscreen and hyperpigmentation products it is! Both the Pa+G serum and A Summer in Hossegor serum have papaya to help fade dark spots, dissolve dead skin cells, and give you an even-toned glow (literally all I ask for).

So whether you hand it to me in a pop and slather it on my face, I’m all about the papaya this spring. 🙂
